As I mentioned, C++ has them:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_alternative
https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/4h5lsb/why_arent_alternative_operators_more_common/
Adopting failed ideas from other languages is a pretty tough sell. One can
always write a DIP, but I don't see a path for adoption for such a feature.
